"My Breath-Taking Experience"

I have lots of exciting experiences this week . Yesterday, we had our outing held in Hadsan Beach. It was so fun because we were so many and there were lots of activities involved with it. I like the games because they were challenging for me. Some of them involved water and it so hard to play in the water because of the current. We were so blessed because the weather is fine. We were playing catch in the water. I even practiced swimming in there. Although I know how to swim, they taught me how to swim correctly. We even have a Beach Volleyball and I am one of the players. At first, I played nicely but then in later part, I did not hit the ball as expected. But at least, I enjoyed a lot.
I was enjoying much in the water when a tragedy happened. I rode in a boat together with the other youths. We enjoyed rowing within a specified area only. We were not allowed to go far so we were on the shallow part only. We kept on making fun with each other that we did not notice that it was deep already. We then decided to return to our group. We dealt that the one who will swim last would be the “it”. And so, we jumped over and started swimming toward the shore when a youth was drowning. We thought it was only a joke. We did not know that he doesn’t know how to swim. And the hardest part for me is that I was the one who is nearest to him. And so, I helped him swim out of the water. But he struggled so much that he grabbed my arms and neck. He almost tears my shirt. He was drowning me. I felt so weak and started losing my grip. Both of us now were drowning. Thank God our friend helped him out away from me. That eased me and started swimming toward the shore. I drank a lot of seawater. I told him that if you do not know how to swim, you should not join us in going to the deep sea. It was my mistake also because I helped him when I know that I am helpless in saving conscious people from drowning.
The tragedy was over when something happened to me. I had cramps! It was so painful that I cannot bear it. They brought me to the cottage and applied first aid on me. It took ten minutes before I was relieved. I rested for several minutes only. I ate peanuts and junk foods while talking to other people. I felt that I am so sleepy and so, I rested again. The time had finally come for us to leave the place. That was a great and exhausting experience for me. Though tiring and breath-taking, I still enjoyed much. And as usual, we rode in the car, still talking with each other. We were so sleepy but we forced ourselves not to be “knocked-out”, meaning, forcing ourselves not to sleep. We arrived at our house at six in the evening. But I did not rest. Instead, I watched Princess Hours. After that, I took a bath and then went to sleep. That is the end of my day.
